Our East Side has always been built on care... neighbors looking out for one another, families supporting local storefronts, and small businesses investing back into the community they call home.
In recent weeks, due to Operation Metro Surge, many of our local businesses and families are navigating uncertainty. Foot traffic has slowed. Routines have been disrupted. Some families are facing difficult financial decisions. Behind every storefront is a family. Behind every counter is someone who lives here, sends their kids to our schools, and contributes to the life of this neighborhood. When they feel the strain, we all do. SECO- District 1 is launching a community fundraiser to help stabilize our small businesses while also supporting families who may need food assistance or short-term financial support during this time. Your contribution will help: • Provide emergency stabilization support for local small businesses • Offer groceries and essential supplies to families experiencing hardship • Assist with short-term utility & legal support Every dollar stays in District 1 and supports the people who call this neighborhood home. We know the East Side’s strength is its unity. We have always shown up for one another, quietly, consistently, and with care. If you are able, we invite you to contribute and stand with your neighbors today.
